Fog_1.1.2 - Ubuntu 12.04.1 - tftp open time out....

[krytiq]

Hi,

I had a FOG server 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04.1.
When clients boot to the network they are able to get a DHCP address but then gets an open timeout error on TFTP.

I tried :
[SIZE=12px]sudo service tftpd-dpa stop, start, restart… (works in 0.32)[/SIZE]
tftp -v 10.1.X.X -c get undionly.kpxe
sudo ufw disable

and… tftp… open timeout :mad:

I searched in the forum but I have not found the solution but I have seen this message :
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 31468, member: 7271”]I don’t have a clue what the problem is. I’m aware of a problem with tftpd-hpa starting on bootup issues which we have a workaround fix for. I’ve never heard of it just randomly stopping at periods of time.[/quote]

What is this famous solution please ?

Well, is tftpd-hpa service running when you reboot the machine?

If so then the fix won’t help you. If the service is not starting there is a way to make the service wait until the machine is booted and then it starts the service.

Incase it is the later of the two, the resolve is:

Change the line
[code]
start on runlevel [2345][/code]
in /etc/init/tftpd-hpa.conf to

[code]
start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo)
[/code]
And it is not a fault of FOG, this is a known issue with Ubuntu 12.04, and 14.04

You could try re-installing the tftpd-hpa service and see if that solves the issue:

[code]
sudo apt-get remove --purge tftpd-hpa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tftpd-hpa
[/code]
